Quaker Valley High School Receives Sportsmanship Award

This is the second time in school history Quaker Valley has earned the recognition.

Quaker Valley High School was recently named a 2012-13 PIAA Sportsmanship Award winner.  

According to the district, this marks the second time in school history that Quaker Valley has earned this honor, with the last time being in 1996-97.

The Sportsmanship Award recognizes high schools throughout the commonwealth of Pennsylvania that best exemplify the principles of good sportsmanship.

“There’s a lot of pride in winning the Sportsmanship Award,” Mike Mastroianni, director of athletics and student activities, said in a news release. “Our sports teams have experienced unprecedented success during the last few years – this award signifies that our students have competed with honor and integrity.”

A 2012-13 PIAA Sportsmanship Award banner will be presented to Quaker Valley during the 2013 WPIAL Sportsmanship Summit on Nov. 13, 2013, at the Heinz History Center. 

Other area schools receiving this award include Avonworth High School, South Fayette High School and South Park High School.

In June, Quaker Valley High School was named the Class AA 2012-13 MSA Sports Cup winner by MSA Sports Network for the second consecutive year. The MSA Sports Cup recognizes the best sports programs for the entire school year throughout the WPIAL schools.  Points are earned for the success of each team sport in the fall, winter and spring seasons.
